Maxence Lacroix: Chelsea in talks with Crystal Palace to sign France international defender | football news


Chelsea are in talks with Crystal Palace to sign defender Maxence Lacroix.

Sky Sports News Palace understands Tottenham are paying more than £55million for Jan Paul van Heeck from Brighton to approve the sale of Lacroix.

Palace and Chelsea enjoy a good relationship at the highest level and have signed players such as Trevo Chalobah and Ben Chilwell.

Chelsea would like to sign a centre-back and ideally any new arrival would be physically imposing and bring Premier League experience.

Chelsea have raised around £130m from sales this window and more players are set to leave.

In defence, those likely to step up include Chaloba, Benoit Badiasile, Malo Gusto and Axel Desassi.

Morgan Rodgers has been seen coming in for his Chelsea treatment after the Blues agreed a £117m deal with Aston Villa.

All being well, Rodgers is then expected to sign a six-year deal at Chelsea with the option of a further year until 2033.

Rodgers returned from the United States on Sunday after England secured third place at the World Cup with a bronze-final victory over France.

Chelsea moved quickly to secure the deal ahead of Arsenal, who could not match the asking price despite Rodgers being their top forward target.
